H1B Visa Processing in India :: Must know Facts and FAQs!!
Who are Eligible?On a broader scale, any Indian citizen who has 16 years of continuous education from a recognized (not all institution are recognized by US consulates) educational institute will qualify for H1b if he has relevant adequate experience of at least 2-3 Years with a registered IT Development company and he who doesn`t have any legal problem are eligible. Please note eligibility doesn’t guarantee VISA, it is to the discretion of the consulate officer who are not to grant a VISA.
The sought after technologies are
- Java, J2EE Technologies with UML/XML, SQL/Oracle
- VB.Net, ASP.Net, C#, .Net
- C,C++
- Data Base Administrators (DBA’s)
- Testing Tools
- Data Base Developers
- SAP, Oracle Apps
- SAS, Cognos, Informatica and other ETL Tools
- VLSI
- Vignette
- Plumtree
- MS Visual Studio
- Cold Fusion
- Symantec Visual Café
- IBM Visual Age
- JMS/JBuilder
How is the Case picked Up?
U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has no outlined strategy to pick up the candidates while processing their H1b Petitions. Cases are picked up on a random basis. To increase your chances of getting picked up apply from different companies.
What if the case is not picked up?
Even before you send the packet/candidature to USCIS, every cases has to be evaluated by an attorney and also have his/her education evaluation done. In spite of all this efforts, it is quite likely (70:30) that few of the candidates are not even picked up for processing.
What is the quota allotted to Indians for US H1b`s?
This keeps varying years after year and can increase/decrease as per the market situation prevailing in USA. For now India has around 65,000 VISA that can be granted to qualified Indian citizens.
What is the latest date for H1b petition submittal?
All H1b`s should reach the USCIS centers by 1st April every year, However there is lot of paper work and evaluation to be done on each case before they can be sent to USCIS. Bottom line sooner the better. But the last date would be 1st April.
If filed for H1b when can I go to USA?
Filing of H1b petition doesn`t guarantee your VISA.. once the H1b petition is filed, the USCIS processes the cases and will release the 797 form (Which is the basic document to be possessed by any one to appear for a H1b interview with their respective regional US Consulate... for south India it is Chennai) If granted a VISA at the consulate you can fly to USA anytime.
What if my VISA is rejected?
As said before, granting of H1b VISAS are purely to the discretion of the consulate officer who will conclude after looking in to your educational/experience certificates and their own quantifying parameters.
Hope this info helped in clearing some of the doubts related to H1b Visa processing.

India in the eyes of a Pakistani Journalist
This is written by a Pakistani journalist called Dr Farrukh Saleem on 12/9/2007. He is an Islamabad-based freelance columnist.It was an eye-opener and made a wonderful read. I have just re-produced the article on an 'as-is' basis, hence no offense intended to anyone.
The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare. The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare. The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese.
In November, Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex flirted with 20,000 points. As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries became a $100 billion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65 billion). Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance.
In November, comes Neeta's birthday. Neeta turned forty-four three weeks ago. Look what she got from her husband as her birthday present: A sixty-million dollar jet with a custom fitted master bedroom, bathroom with mood lighting, a sky bar, entertainment cabins, satellite television, wireless communication and a separate cabin with game
consoles. Neeta is Mukesh Ambani's wife, and Mukesh is not India's richest but the second richest.
Mukesh is now building his new home, Residence Antillia (after a mythical, phantom island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean). At a cost of $1 billion this would be the most expensive home on the face of the planet. At 173 meters tall Mukesh's new family residence, for a family of six, will be the equivalent of a 60-storeyed building. The first six floors are reserved for parking. The seventh floor is for car servicing and maintenance. The eighth floor houses a mini-theatre. Then there's a health club, a gym and a swimming pool. Two floors are reserved for Ambani family's guests. Four floors above the guest floors are family floors all with a superb view of the Arabian Sea. On top of everything are three helipads. A staff of 600 is expected to care for the family and their family home.
In 2004, India became the 3rd most attractive foreign direct investment destination. Pakistan wasn't even in the top 25 countries. In 2004, the United Nations, the representative body of 192 sovereign member states, had requested the Election Commission of India to assist the UN in the holding elections in Al Jumhuriyah al Iraqiyah and Dowlat-e Eslami-ye Afghanestan. Why the Election Commission of India and not the Election Commission of Pakistan? After all, Islamabad is closer to Kabul than is Delhi.
Imagine, 12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian origin; 38 percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28 percent of IBM employees are Indians.
For the record: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail. Sun Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla. The Intel Pentium processor, that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham. Rajiv Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard's E-speak project. Four out of ten Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians. Bollywood produces 800 movies per year and six Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World titles over the past 10 years.
For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore. India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire) .
The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating wealth. In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani's father, left his two sons a fortune worth $2.8 billion. In 2007, their combined wealth stood at $94 billion. On 29 October 2007, as a result of the stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh
became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to US$63.2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56 billion).
Indians and Pakistanis have the same Y-chromosome haplogroup. We have the same genetic sequence and the same genetic marker (namely: M124). We have the same DNA molecule, the same DNA sequence. Our culture, our traditions and our cuisine are all the same. We watch the same movies and sing the same songs. What is it that Indians have and we don't?
He concludes the article by saying these words - INDIANS ELECT THEIR LEADERS.
Well, with elections that took place last week in Pakistan - let's hope best. Didn't the article make an interesting read? It surely did for me.
How to easily Backup your Blogger Blog Online for Free?
Yes, you can now Backup your Blog hosted on Blogger for free.
Well, it is always a good practice to Backup your online assets like e-mail, photos, etc - and blogs can't be an exception. There are numerous plugins available on other Blogging platforms like Wordpress / Mamboo (yes it is gaining popularity in blogs too) / Movable Type to backup all the contents of the blog at regular intervals. But till now there was no Free service available for blogs hosted on Blogger.com.
Today, I came across this cool website called BlogBackupr, which provides an absolutely FREE service of backing up blogs on the Blogger platform. But I suppose, since it is still in beta stage - there is no complete backup available yet. Coz only 25 posts from my site got backed up, as against the 700+ posts that are available on my blog.
BlogBackupr is an online application that only needs a URL to create the full backing of any blog using feeds. It does not require a lengthy registration but needs your e-mail address so that you have access to a panel where you can see your backups. You can download back the backups in three formats (xml, txt and html), and even restore your blog if you have any problems.
The restoration feature works fine for Wordpress blogs and surprisingly also for blogs on Blogger. Well, I guess the restoration for Blogger is a novelty and is also a unique feature, that I know of that lets you do it automatically.
It's a great tool for blogs that do not provide a system backup / restore themselves.

List of Most Frequently Pirated Softwares on the Internet
Here is the List of most pirated Softwares via the internet, much of which consisted of security tools from Symantec and productivity and design tools from Adobe – makes me really wonder if Adobe’s high price points have anything to do with them being a prime piracy target. If only software was made really affordable for individual use, I suppose piracy can be brought down a lot.Here's the complete list.
1. McAfee VirusScan
2. Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
3. McAfee Internet Security Suite
4. Intuit TurboTax
5. Adobe Photoshop (CS / CS3 and other variants)
6. Adobe Acrobat Professional
7. Intuit Quicken Home and Business
8. Symantec Norton pcAnywhere
9. Symantec Norton Ghost
10. Adobe Creative Suite

Hip-Hop, Politics & The Politics of the Music Business
Chuck D once called Hip-Hop “Black people’s CNN.” Is it still today? Do today’s rap artists feel as though their hands are tied when it comes to speaking on social issues? Is it only about the party in 2008? Does the music business actively try to stifle the potential message? Are politics relevant in music? Do you care?

Hip-Hop, Politics & The Politics of the Music Business
Chuck D once called Hip-Hop “Black people’s CNN.” Is it still today? Do today’s rap artists feel as though their hands are tied when it comes to speaking on social issues? Is it only about the party in 2008? Does the music business actively try to stifle the potential message? Are politics relevant in music? Do you care?

Reports saying Dawn Yang and Edison
There is a report http://stars.zaobao.com/pages6/chenguanxi080226d.shtml saying that Edison has invited Dawn Yang, a singapore star blogger for a dinner and maybe more...
but she reject...
I wonder.. if i am the one being invited by Edison.. I think it is hard to reject..
To have a nice dinner with such a handsome guy in a high class restaurant... worth it!
but she reject...

Miscellaneous stuff
I am back from Langkawi, people.
Omg so irritating!!!
MSN is being fucked up right now, so I cannot sign into BOTH MSN Live Messenger AND the old lao pok Windows Messenger!!
And I NEED TO COMPLAIN!!
Recently it seems that a lot of people are starting to play on Viwawa.com, a site that allows people to play online Mahjong (among other things) with the other frustrated people who also cannot find MJ kakis in real life (or are unwilling to travel out of house to play MJ, etc).
The problem with MJ is, besides the fact that people slowly start to play bigger and bigger until it starts to become a liability, is that MJ, being a game where money is involved afterall, BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN PEOPLE.
If somebody just threw a Zhong and you throw a Zhong next round only to pay for a 5 tai limit, there is nothing funny about it. Or, if you want to win a 5 tai limit only to have the guy in front of you win your winning card first, that is enough to send the best-tempered of us up in fury.
If those are not enough, perhaps you can try my faithful MJ situation: Throw what draw what. Awesome.
SO.
Online MJ is better in this sense, because you only feel a tad annoyed as there is no money involved anyway, and you don't have to face other people's tempers.
Unfortunately, this also means that you are playing with fucking idiots most of the time, because fucking idiots are everywhere.
Ok la, actually to be fair I think most people playing Viwawa are quite ok, except a handful.
This is one conversation I had with a girl. (From what I remember of course)
Stupidly enough, when I first joined (with Wanyi's urging) I didn't know my user id would be shown to everyone whom I play MJ with, so I chose XIAXUE.
Naturally, that is not the wisest choice, although it is indeed a good conversation starter - not that I wanna converse with these people most of the time.
Stupid girl: Xiaxue?
Me: Yeah?
SG: Is that your real name or are you just copying that bitch?
Me: Eh... It's my real name. Very unfortunate to share with her.
SG: Oh. Good. I don't like her.
Me: Why?
SG: No reason. I don't know also leh. I just don't like lor.
(Chao CB don't like people also must have at least a reason right? At least she say she don't like my face also better than this rubbish.)
Me: OK.
SG: She's a bitch man.
(Continue insulting me somemore! Lao niang never saw her in my life and never did anything to her!)
- After another 10 mins of peaceful playing with mundane chatting -
SG, asking table in general: How old are you guys?
Me: I'm 24 this year.
SG: I'm 17. (Juvenile idiots...)
SG, continues: Anyone here from SP?
Me: I was from SP last time.
SG: Oh! So what are you doing now?
Me: What if I told you I am blogging for a living?
SG: I suppose that's possible.
OMG SHE IS SO FUCKING RETARDED SHE STILL DOESN'T GET IT?! HOW MANY FULL-TIME BLOGGERS ARE THERE FROM SP NICKNAMED XIAXUE?!
At this point, this other guy from the table who has been quietly listening to this conversation decided it's time to burst out of his shy shell.
Other Guy from table: WAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA SHE IS THE XIAXUE YOU HATE!!!
Stupid girl: ... (she keep doing these dots. You can see that she can clearly express herself very well)
OGFT: So Xiaxue, how's your nose?
Xiaxue: Good good... One year already!
SG: ...
SG: You are not Xiaxue.
Me: really? Why?
SG: For one your English is not so good.
Me: What?! English here not good or on the blog not good?
SG: Here not good.
Me: I am chatting why would I use perfect English here?!?!?
SG: And for 2, you are too nice.
Me: ??? I am nice to people who are nice to me and mean to people who are mean to me la! Everyone is what!!
SG: ...
SG, continues: You are confirm not Xiaxue.
Me: Ok. (Little fucker slut trying to tell me what I am and what I am not!)
SG: Xiaxue would never use such a lame user pic. (If I didn't know she hated me I'd think she's my greatest fan...)
Me: What?! I think my user pic totally looks like me.
Now for those of you who don't know, Viwawa allows all their users to create a little avatar doll that looks like what I showed. You can change her (or his) hair, eyes, clothes etc. Everyone's doll looks more or less the same with different colours and features.
SG screeched.
SG: NO IT DOES NOT!
Me, a little impatiently and indignantly: Why does it not? I have blonde hair and I'm tan and I totally have that dress in real life!!
SG: ...
And with that last "..." she left the mahjong room highly agitated.
Just now, I got another irritating online MJ kaki. By this time I've learnt my lesson, decided against using Xiaxue and created another account.
Me: Fucking MSN is not allowing me to sign in again!
Another stupid person: Oei!!!
ASP: No fowl language please! (And yes she spelt it this way)
Me: Why? Are you underaged?
ASP: No. Mother of 2.
Me: Oic. Well... Are your kids sitting on your lap now reading what I say?
ASP: Nope.
Me: Then I don't see what the problem is.
ASP: Keep it clean please.
Me: Stop being a prude and telling people what to do.
And with that I leave the room. And I cannot go on MSN to complain to people, so here I am blogging!! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF??! There are so many fucking retards around I tell you!!
I SAY FUCK WHENEVER I WANT!!!! ROARRRRRR!!
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!!!!
Irritating la! I fucking hate all these moralistic high browed fuckers.
I don't care if you think foul language is a no-no for your freaking children, but there are people in this world who are not living their lives for your kids ok! If you don't want your kids to hear foul language, I'm sorry, but the only way is to dig out his eardrums lor!! If I don't say, then his fucking classmates will to anyway, what's the big fucking deal?!
And besides, the fucking kids are not even looking at the monitor or what! It's not like I am saying FUCK to her kids' faces!!
AND WHAT IS WITH THE MOTHER OF TWO BULLSHIT?!
JUST BECAUSE YOU SPREAD YOUR LEGS TWICE FOR YOUR HUSBAND TO SHOOT HIS SPERM INSIDE YOU AND THEN GAVE BIRTH DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHTS TO DEMAND ANYTHING FROM ANYONE OK?!?! In fact, it only makes you a mother, not MY mother!
Annoying leh these people!!
I'm gonna abruptly change topic and ask you all to check out the new videos from Click Network.
Thinking of not looking like a whale anymore?? Yet, you are so lazy and your hands seem to, on their own accord, steal all your friends' KFC chicken skins when they are not looking? LOOK NO FURTHER!! Acupuncture might be the solution for you!!
Or you can just get a sadistic pleasure out of watching me get poked by needles.
Love spicy food?? Bet you still can't beat either of these crazy people, as Paul Twohill and Kaykay go on a rampage to find out who can conquer that deceivingly small chilli padi. Among other very, very spicy stuff. *shudders*
p/s: I've got my Langkawi trip's photos to edit so I'll update with all the photos as soon as possible. Langkawi was awesome!!! And I am super tan now!! Comments not allowed.
Omg so irritating!!!

p/s: I've got my Langkawi trip's photos to edit so I'll update with all the photos as soon as possible. Langkawi was awesome!!! And I am super tan now!! Comments not allowed.

Got Drank???
Cuz I do...
It's the world's first anti-energy drink! Combining Rose Hips, Melatonin and Valerian Root with a great tasting beverage to um, well, create the world's first anti-energy drink.
I'm a lil scared, but not as scared as I am of the actual energy drinks. See, I need to "slow my roll," cuz I'm a total maniac inside. Energy drinks just jazz me the fuck up. It's also why I don't do cocaine (also, I'm not a squirrel).
Anyway, yeah I got that DRANK, what you need?
(P.S. Note the prescription bottle in the logo. The promo materials, which I will have on Monday, don't have the bottle on them.)

Art is Gangsta
HOLY GUACAMOLE BATMAN IT WENT DOWN!
Couldn't really promote in advance on das blog, as it was an invite only affair, but man, big ups to Hawaii Mike and Jan Dizdarevik of Seed Gives Life and the good folks at Mountain Dew for throwing this lil soiree.
The party celebrated local graf legend, DEZ and his new Mountain Dew bottle design.

The party was off the freakin' chain.
Perseph1 and Mark Sound
Again.
Then after the event Crystal Lee and Perseph1 got in a rhyme battle with Bubba providing the beat box and hand claps.
I was about to fall over at this point, and may have. I'm not sure. That being said, I went home and forgot to put on the AC and woke up in a puddle of sweat. I always knew Houston was humid, but having lived in Austin for just over a month, it's very much so overtly noticable.
Anyway it was Awesome.
See you Monday at Brand Nubian, Houston...
